Mohammed Abd Ahmed, one of the 69 hostages rescued from an Islamic State prison in a joint raid by U.S. and Kurdish special forces, speaks during an interview with Reuters in Erbil, Iraq, October 29, 2015. Reuters interviewed three of the rescued hostages at a security facility in the Kurdish regional capital Erbil. The men recounted their experiences of life under Islamic State rule, and the physical and psychological torment that often comes with it. Many of the prisoners were former members of the Iraqi security forces who fought some of the same insurgents before the militants overran a third of Iraq. Reuters could not independently verify the accounts. Picture taken October 29, 2015. REUTERS/Azad lashkari
